574 TINEINA. 



wing is more inclined to greyish fawn, having less of the purplish tinge, 

 but this is somewhat variable ; there is a faint indication of the same 

 pattern of markings, but the dorso-basal streak is not apparent, being 

 replaced by a dorsal patch, which does not cross the fold, and is some- 

 what further removed from the base than in the <j ; this is of a purplish 

 grey colour, as is also the central shade and the costal and apical patches ; 

 the streak reaching to the termen is not present, but the ground-colour 

 of the wing is slightly reticulated with purplish grey; there is a slight 

 spot at the middle of the cell opposite to the middle of the costal patch ; 

 underside greyish, the costal and apical portions ochreous, with only 

 the faintest indication of reticulations. Exp. al. $ 16-21, 9 22-24 mm - 

 Hindwings : 3, greyish, with a slight reddish ochreous tinge about their 

 apex ; cilia greyish ; underside greyish, the costal and apical portions 

 ochreous, with large and conspicuous greyish reticulations : ? as in the <?, 

 but with a distinct fringe of tawny grey scales on the costa ; underside as 

 in the , but with only the faintest indication of reticulations. Abdomen 

 greyish, anal tuft slightly paler. Legs cinereous.

In the 9 the shape of the forewing resembles that of podanus, Sc. ($), 

 differing much in this respect from the European xylosteanus, L., in which 

 the 9 more nearly resembles the <J ; moreover there is a thickened fringe 

 of scales on the costa of the hindwings in the 9, resembling that which 

 distinguishes the 9 of decretanus, Tr., from podanus^ Sc., 9.
